BM (Bowel Movement)
A bowel movement (BM) is the process of expelling waste from the digestive tract through the rectum. This waste, known as stool, is composed of undigested food, bacteria, and cells shed from the lining of the intestines. Regular bowel movements are essential for maintaining digestive health and overall well-being.
The frequency of bowel movements can vary widely among individuals, typically ranging from three times a week to three times a day. Factors such as diet, hydration, and physical activity can influence bowel habits. A balanced diet rich in fiber, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can promote healthy digestion and regular BMs.
